What if family reading time felt like a field trip to a place where monkeys roar, rivers run warm, and holiday parades glow with torchlight? 150 Surprising Facts About Costa Rica for Curious Kids packs the wonder of tropical forests, active peaks, playful wildlife, and colorful traditions into short, snackable sections kids love.

Kids meet jaguars, hummingbirds, poison dart frogs, and people who carry a Freedom Torch across the country every year. “Did you know?” sidebars add bonus facts. Quick Quizzes at the end of each chapter turn learning into a game for car rides, homeschool, or classroom warm‑ups. Planning a trip?
